lawn, mowed.Today was the year's first lawn mowing adventure. My mower? Why yes, it started on the second pull. I then spent some quality time maneuvering it around the back and cutting down a few week's worth of enthusiastic moss growth. Oh yes the moss battle is on. Over the next few weeks I'll be trying to kill the existing moss and then replacing it with grass seed. To put things in perspective: the entire back yard is 65% moss. Out of control taking-over moss. It may feel soft on your feet but it acts like a water sponge and adds to the mole infiltration problem. So one of this year's projects is to win the battle against moss.
tomatoes, planted.After the mowing and the beginning of moss-killing I got the tomatoes planted. They are cozy in their cloche sharing space with some jalapeno and bell pepper plants. I started making the long skeleton to hold the no-deer no-bunny no-bird netting but the sun set before I got that finished.
garden from afarTomorrow: hopefully I will finally get some lettuce and carrots planted.

Oh yes, moss wars. What method are you planning to use to overcome that clingy invader?
Your raised bed coverings look quite fancy. Everything will be tucked in nicely. Too bad, so sad, to the woodland critters ; )

Happy spring, damn the moles and deer and onward with your plantings. You're way ahead of us on the east coast-north. We're still chilly and looking for warm winds. mom
